STERLING — The Northeastern Longhorns continue to have success on the volleyball court. The repeat matches in early April against Lutheran Parker and Faith Christian both went in the books as wins in two games for the Longhorns.

They had a bye week the following week and then weather caused the games the following week to be canceled.

They finished up their regular season this week with a league matchup against Lutheran Parker and Regis on Tuesday and recorded two more wins.

This Saturday, April 27, district tournament play begins. The local team will have home court advantage, playing their two matches on the courts of Northeastern Junior College.

The No. 1 Longhorns are seated against No. 10 Holy Family and No. 11 Community Prep. The two traveling teams will start with the first match at 1 p.m. Then the Longhorns will play each of those teams beginning at approximately 2 p.m.

The team encourages fans of local sports to come cheer them on to victory and a district championship.
